Permitting at the Speed of Demand: Is Washington Finally Listening?
Project delays in the energy sector are increasingly caused by permitting bottlenecks, not material shortages. This session features Amos Hochstein, who will break down the post-FERC backlog, the Mountain Valley Pipeline saga, and the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act. Attendees will hear what’s changing in Washington—and whether it’s enough to meet rising demand.
